Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Ingredients
Start by getting everything ready. Dice your tomatoes, chop the onions and cilantro, and slice the avocado. Set all your toppings aside for easy assembly later.Warm the Tortillas
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and slightly toasted. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.Scramble the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk or cream, if desired, and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter or oil. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center. Cook until they’re just set but still creamy. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.Assemble the Tacos
Lay a tortilla on a plate and spoon a portion of scrambled eggs into the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese so it melts over the warm eggs. Add your chosen toppings - avocado, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro are classics, but the choice is yours!Toppings Galore
Finish with a dollop of salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce. Don’t forget a spritz of lime for that zesty touch.Serve and Enjoy
Serve the breakfast tacos warm with extra toppings on the side for your guests (or family!) to customize as they eat.
Tips for Customizing & Serving
The beauty of breakfast tacos lies in their versatility. Here are some ideas to switch things up or cater to dietary preferences:
- Vegetarian Option: Load up on sautéed peppers, onions, spinach, or black beans to make these tacos even more wholesome.
- Vegan Twist: Replace eggs with tofu scramble, skip the cheese, and use plant-based toppings like dairy-free sour cream.
- Protein-packed: Add chorizo, shredded chicken, or even diced steak for a meat-lover’s variation.
Make it Yours
Don’t have tortillas? No problem. Use slices of toast, pita bread, or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb version. Feeling bold? Experiment with different styles of salsa or swap in a smoky chipotle mayo as a topping. Each tweak makes the dish uniquely yours.
